Hey guys,

Just wondering what my friends R33 is worth as she is thinking about getting rid of it. .

Its a 93 N/A coupe, 5 speed manual and has a few problems. .

Ok . . it needs,

New tyres

New windscreen

the heated box to be fixed/replaced

Water pump to be fitted (already have a new one in a box)

The side skirts and rear bar are badly cracked and need to be fixed and painted

A R/H front quarter guard (had fiberglass ones but took them off)

Both electric window motors

The radiator needs a flush and so does the motor. . The intake runners where the radiator hose joins to was rotted out so dont know how bad the motor is . .

Radiator/heater hoses

the roof and boot have faded, so would need a respray

and the C/F bonnet is in bad condition. . very faded and yellow . . Needs a cut/polish and to be sealed

Also, some of the motor has been pulled appart to replace the water pump and the dash is out as we were going to take out the heater box. .

Just wondering what it would be worth in this condition?

Thanks for any help

Daniel

It used to be a really nice car. . the interior is perfect, but once the roof/boot started to fade and the bonnet went crappy and yellow (no uv protectant) it started to go downhill. . When the heater started leaking, it drained all the water from the motor so she parked it up and hasnt moved for a long time. .

Also the body is in good nic. . its just faded and there isnt any damage to the metal. . .

I am thinking bout buying it for a track/street car, so the motor, heaterbox and some of the other problems wouldnt matter. .

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
